Get over it. Rightly or not, we live in a global enconomy and we're clearly not suddenly going to back to the way it was. Propogating the myth that all Chinsese goods are crap is not helping anyone. And it's not like Made in America means anything anymore. Anyone remember the Firestone exploding tires of a few years ago?
Speaking of exploding, what about the Pinto? That was made in America, too. Or how about the MD80s that crashed because of jack screw failures? Yep. made in America.
Hello, Pot... meet Mr. Kettle.

Lets talk about poisoning our kids your kids too, killing our pets, pirated software, movies, and music. The stuff coming out of china IS crap it lasts a tenth as long as the OEM part and alot of times wont even fit case in point a replacement turn signal switch for my chevy blazer 1 dollar more and I had a ac delco switch with "made in USA" stamped on it. You have to live in a global economy where you are, we have to because of greedy companies wanting more profit. That exploding pinto probably had made in Mexico on it and the firestone tires probably had made in Malayasia on them, I dont have to get over anything bubba!
